This year’s BlizzCon is unlike any other. The annual celebration of Blizzard games<\/a>, which has moved to a virtual platform dubbed “BlizzConline” this year due to COVID-19 related concerns, marks the 30th anniversary of the company’s founding. In those 30 years, Blizzard Entertainment has been responsible for popular games including the Warcraft <\/i>and StarCraft <\/i>franchise as well as the multiplayer first-person shooter Overwatch. <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

In honor of the major milestone, the Celebration Pack is now available to purchase via the Blizzard Store. Featuring three different tiers – Essentials, Heroic, and Epic – the pack includes Hearthstone <\/i>card packs, new pets and mounts for Diablo\u00a03\u00a0<\/i>and World of Warcraft, <\/i>five Overwatch <\/i>loot boxes, and much more. One offering\u00a0that has particularly excited fans is a new legendary skin for Overwatch<\/i><\/a> <\/i>hero Reinhardt, included in the Heroic ($39.99 USD) and Epic ($59.99 USD) pack levels.<\/p>\n

Dubbed “Raynhardt,” the skin pays homage to legendary StarCraft <\/i>marshal-turned-rebel Jim Raynor. It turns the tank hero’s traditional armor into a CMC Powered Combat Suit as seen in the StarCraft <\/i>franchise. The ex-Crusader’s usual massive hammer weapon is powered up with the addition of high-intensity jet engines and a bayonet. This is not the first StarCraft <\/i>skin to appear in Overwatch, <\/i>with sniper Widowmaker getting a Sarah Kerrigan-inspired<\/a> look in 2018.<\/p>\n

But that’s not all. Fans were quick to notice a seemingly small detail which in fact differentiates “Raynhardt” from every other skin in the game. Something very special happens when the armored hero uses his shield in battle: his visor moves with him. When the shield isn’t active, Reinhardt’s visor is open, revealing that his Jim Raynor cosplay extends to his facial features. However, when the shield comes up, the visor snaps down, as “Raynhardt” protects his vulnerable face from attacks.<\/p>\n

The detail was highlighted via a post by Reddit user Nine9s9_9 on the Overwatch <\/i>subreddit community.<\/p>\n
